good car for the price. Like the interior styling better than how a sister....BUT....hate the fact that Toyota for 10 years can't design a simple oil filter canister like all other car brands....they have this stupid canister, drain plug, double oil ring design that sucks. Get with the 21st century Toyota

Hired the Hybrid and was looking forward to it. Economy was 6 litres/100Km on mostly country driving. Not good as my 2.0 litre 2005 BMW gets the same and does not need a battery that will need replacing at a sizeable cost. Dynamics were ok for an entry level car. The ABS did not do very well when stopping on dirt roads. The traction control was worse. If you accelerated too hard, the back swung out to the side. Possibly it is an early (and cheaper) generation traction control unit. Latest generation traction control and ABS measure wheel slip many times a second and hence the wheel does not noticeably slip as it slipping is stopped just as it starts. The Toyota seemed to have a less sophisticated control unit as the wheels spun, stopped spinning, spun again, stopped spinning and spun again, which is why the rear end slid out sideways. May work better on smooth bitumen? Comfort was good in the front seats. I can see people taking a test drive and being impressed. The road noise while on a highway in the back was quite high as there is little sound insulation for the rear passengers and the boot has places with no sound insulation at all. To speak to the rear passengers needed us in the front to raise our voices so much that it was better to speak when in towns with slower road speed. The windows did not stop the sun burning through onto your arm. More advanced cars use different glass that looks the same but stops most of the heat getting through so passengers are more comfortable, the aircon does not need to work as hard, etc. Safety. The self steering was ok so long as there were well painted lines on both sides of the road such as a major multi lane highway. On good country roads, it would it was unable to detect the left side white line unless it was new and well painted. Roads where the left edge was less defined such as parts missing or a section was damaged where a truck ran wide in the past etc., meant the car would continue to slowly veer off the road. So. Ok for good highways, not for driving on the usual country roads. Passing other cars was a bit slow. I know that electric motors can provide enormous power short short times such as say 10 seconds (I am engineer). Not sure why Toyota did not let the battery give the motor more power so overtaking would be safer? Sophistication was low. The touch panel was not intuitive to use. If you walk up to the car and unlock it with the key fob, the windows will not wind down so you can let the car cool down before driving off. You have to put the key fob in the centre console and push the start button. This means there are no smarts in the electricals, it's just a wire to the switch and battery. By comparison, in a 16 year old 3 series BMW, you can use the key fob to unlock and wind down the windows as you walk up. No need to get in a hot car. This is because the windows, etc., are all smart and under the control of the car's computer which does what you want when you press the fob buttons, such as just open the drivers door, or open all doors, or wind up all windows and close the sunroof as you hold the "lock car" button. Overall a basic unsophisticated car. Quite good and a cheap price (around $48K), hence maybe you cannot expect the latest (or expect a 2005 level of sophistication) such as high quality ABS and traction control, a quiet ride in the back and creature comforts.
